                Hi '81,
                that unit has a couple of plusses over the Spyder.
                There are no mickey mouse computer overrides on the performance and it costs $10,000 less.

                    you say "weird" like it's a bad thing?

                          Whoa Nelly...

                          Every snowmobile I've ridden uses the track/belt to slow down and stop. Didn't see any rotors/pads showing on the front wheels.

                          Don't know if "street legal" requires a front brake. Might be interesting what this thing does at highway speeds in a panic braking scenario...
